Where has ULEZ been extended to?<\/h3>\n
The new ULEZ expansion means Outer London areas will now pay the charges. This takes the zone beyond its current boundaries near Kensington and Fulham, Southwark and Newham.<\/p>\n
Instead, southern boroughs such as Merton, Sutton, Croydon, Kingston, Richmond and Bromley will pay the fees. In the north, Harrow, Barnet, Enfield, Redbridge and Havering are among the areas affected.<\/p>\n
Bexley, Hillingdon and Ealing will also come under the new ULEZ charging area. According to the RAC, it is expected that around 700,000 people will be affected by the fees.<\/p>\n

Charging hours are from midnight to midnight meaning motorists could be forced to pay two sets of fees if they cross over the zone at night.<\/p>\n Motorists who fail to pay the charge will be slapped with a \u00a3180 fine, falling to \u00a390 if paid within 90 days.<\/p>\n Motorists can see if their vehicle meets the ULEZ criteria through a simple tool on the Transport for London website. Drivers simply need to enter their number plate and choose a country of registration to find out whether they need to pay the fees.<\/p>\n Classic cars more than 40 years old are exempt from paying the daily rates if they have a historic vehicle tax class through the DVLA. Cars with a disabled passenger vehicle tax class will also not be liable for charges.<\/p>\n Sadiq Khan recently expanded his ULEZ scrappage scheme with all Londoners now eligible for up to \u00a32,000 in free cash.<\/p>\n However, the grant will only be paid out once drivers have proof their vehicle has been scrapped. There is also a grace period on charges for people receiving certain disability benefits.<\/p>\n Locals have been mostly negative about the scheme with a series of protests being held ahead of the launch date. A consultation held by TfL last year found 59 percent of residents rejected the scheme.<\/p>\n Labour also missed out on securing Uxbridge in a recent by-election after locals turned it into an effective referendum over ULEZ. The result has raised questions among labour frontbenchers with leader Sir Keir Starmer speaking out against the project.<\/p>\n But, Khan has refused to back down and has pressed ahead with the project regardless. A spokesperson for the Mayor of London said: \u201cThe ULEZ is not a money-making scheme and within a few years, as compliance increases, it will actually make a net loss.<\/p>\n \u201cAny revenues raised are ringfenced and reinvested into London\u2019s transport network, including investing in state-of-the art electric buses, improving transport links in outer London. The ULEZ is a very targeted scheme which means that only those with the most polluting vehicles will have to pay the charge.<\/p>\n \u201cNine out of ten cars seen driving in outer London on an average day are already ULEZ compliant. To help drivers of non-compliant vehicles avoid receiving a PCN, they can sign up to TfL\u2019s Auto Pay which has been free since 30 January 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n
